About
I'm Amanda Shearon – a designer, design educator and optimist. I ask strategic, fundamental questions in service of making impact and am driven by a strong conviction for beautiful, functional design.
I currently design products for emerging technologies at IBM Research, working alongside scientific researchers to incubate quantum and AI innovation into business opportunities for IBM.
Based in Austin, TX where I shamelessly eat tacos for every meal.
